LIGHTING DEVICE FOR GAS-STOVES.

To all whom it may concern: Be itknown that I, Snnvnr H. ALEXAN- nan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Englewood, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lighting Devices for Gas-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,-such as will enable others skilled in'the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in lighting devices for gas stoves, and has for its primary object to provide a lighting de vice associated with and operable independently of the simmering burner an improved type of valve for controlling the simmering burner and the lighting device.

With this and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described,-

claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figured represents a plan view of a gas stove illustrating the invention applied to erally the simmering burner forming part of the invention which is supported upon the to of a gas stove 11 centrally of the severe burners 12 thereon. The simmermg burner 10 includes a body ll up on which is supported a cap 12 including a vertical side wall 12? and top 12 arranged in spaced relation to the side .Wall to provide an air space adapted to cotiperate with the air ports 11" in the body 11 to plermit a thorough ciroulation of air throng the cap. The cap is formedwith openings 13 corresponding in Specification of Letters Patent.

ginal boss 14L,1 having an internal circularpassage 14 t erein communicating with a plurality of outlet ports 14". The circular passage 145 communicates with a vertical air passage 15, whereby air is admitted to the,

passage 14 and the lower portion of the air passage 15 communicates with a substantially L-shaped passage 17 formed in the body and communicating with a gas supply pipe or tube 18, which latter is secured in the body 11 and is connected at the opposite end with the valve casing 19 by a coupling 20. The passage of gas from the passage 17 to the air passage 15 is controlled by an adjustable needle valve 16. The end of the valve casing 19 opposite the gas tube or pipe 18 is provided with a reduced extension 21, which is connected with the gas supply pipe 22 of the gas stove and is formed in the reduoed end thereof with an inlet port 23, which communicates with the valve chamber 24, receiving the rotary valve 25.

The exposed end of the valve 25 is connected with a handle 26 and the lower end thereof receives a screw 27, whereby the valve A. branch or auxiliary upper outlet port 31 is formed in the wall of the inlet port 23, and communicates with the valve 'chamber 24 and registers, at its inner end, with a circumferential groove 32 formed in the valve 25. A. port 33 is formed in the end of the valve casing 19 opposite the inlet port 23 and in spaced relation to the port 30 and communicates with an inner pipe 34 arranged in concentrically spaced relation within the outer pipe 18, whereby gas is permitted to flow from the inlet port 23 through the auxiliary port 31, groove 32 and port 33 to the inner pipe 3 1. f

The end of the inner pipe34 opposite the valve casing 19 is secured in the burner body'll and communicates with an angular port33 formed in said body. The'vertical ner pipe u When it is desired to lig i portion of the angular port 36 in the burner stove. It will be understood that the ti 37 is constantly supplied With gas passing rom the main supplyp-ipe 22, through the inlet port 23, auxiliary port 31, groove 32, port 33, inner pipe 3% and passage 36, and the passage of gas through the auxiliary port 31 is regulated loy a screw valve-39 The valve 25 is formed with a vertical opening 40, which communicates with the T shaped port 29 and slidaloly receives the valve stem ll carrying the valve 42, which latter is adapted to engage in the lovver ter minal of a port 43 formed the valve 25 and close communication between said port 43 and the l -shaped port The valve 4L2 is normally retained in cl position by the compression of a coil. a l engaged with the upper exposed end the valve and carrying a button 4:5 ada, ed to he depressed to 7 an addition port and passage 33, angular port l3 comma in use, 1 utilize the invention as a u .e valve 25 is adjust d so as register the Au oi cert 29 through the space I outer pipes and 1 conducted to the apertures M will he understood that 'es supplied to the pilot lourner 3 and from the inlet 23 through the auxiliary port 31, circumferential groove 32, port 33, inner pipe and passage the passage or" the gas through the auxiliary 31 being regulated my the screvv valve '39. y one or all of the several burners 12 the button 45 depresse pression of": the spring v the valve l2 or? of its seat an permitting a relatively volume cgas to iiovv through the port 43, port 33, inner pipe 34 and angular passage 86 to the burner tip 37. p The increase in the pressure iected by the opening of valve as causes the flame to be directed outwardly from the by moving tip 37 throu h the openings l3- in the 12 and in tnezcne of the burners 12 or the gas stove, which are thus lighted,

What ll claim is:

, l; The combination with a gas stove hav Lei-554a ports therein, and a lighter having gas outlet ports each disposed so as to project a flame across the outlet portsof one of the series of burners and the upwardly discharging ports of the simmering burner to simultaneously light both burners with the single flame.

2. The combination with a gas stove including a series of burners, of a simmering burner having a plurality of outlet ports therein and arranged in substantially the same horizontal plane with the series oi burners, a lighter arranged-centrall of the simmering burner and adapted-to discharge horizontal flames across and above the simmering burner and series of burners, and a valve controlling the gas supply to the simmering burner and to the lighte 3. in combination, a simmering burnerincluding a body having an annular series 033 discharge ports therein, and a burner tip arranged Within the series of ports and having a plurality of openings therein for directing flames across and above the gas discharge ports in the body.

l. in a lighting device ar gas stoves, a simmering burner, a lighter supported on the simmering burner, a conducting pipe for supplying gas the i hurner, and a pipe arranged v 7. the first-mentioned pipe for conductir to the lighter, a valve inclu having a vertical valvecharn inlet port communicating with spaced outlet ports said valve chamber with the s c ducting pipes, a valve rotataloiy moi. in said chamber having a l -shape oort adapted to connect said inlet po t W i one of the outlet ports and having a circumferential groove registering with the other outlet port, said body having an auxiliary port connecting the inlet port with said groove, and means for admitting additional ply of gas to the last-mentioned outlet por 5. in combination, a burner including body having vertical passages there through and a series of gas outlet ports ar ranged outwardly of the passages, means for conducting gas to said outlet ports, said body having a gas passage therein, a lighter tip communicating with said passage, and a cap positioned upon said body and coinmunicating with said air passages.

'6. in combination, a simmering burner including a liody having a plurality of outlet ports and an angular passage therein, means for supplying gas to the outlet ports, a lighter including a burner tip supported upon saidhody and communicating with the angular passage therein, means for supplylug gas to said lighter, and a cap removals y val 7e chamber and 1 supported upon the body inclosing the ports therein andinclosing and protecting 10 burner tip and havin openings therein perthe lighter tip. v mitting the flames rom the burner tip to In testimony. whereof I afiix my signapr rlijeft1 exterlifrly of the cap. b ture in presence of two witnesses. 5 com ination, a simmering urner havin a. plurality of gas outlet ports-there- 7 SmNEY f in, a 'ghter tip arranged centrally of the Witnesses: burner, and a, cap supported u nthe sim- R.
